Re: missing resource bundle shouldn't be

Different class loader. The JSP's are running in a class-loader with the

the WEB-INF/classes are not part of the search path.
Then what's the solution? I've tried moving the jar from common/lib to 
WEB-INF/lib, but that didn't help. Unjarring the files into 
WEB-INF/classes didn't work, either.

How can I programmatically reference the appropriate classloader from 
within my servlet so that I can access property files in 
WEB-INF/classes? Or should I put my resource bundles somewhere else? It 
seems a shame that my JSP files can access the resource bundles, but my 
servlets can't---when the JSP files get compiled into servlets, anyway.

Oh, and I'm using JDK 1.5 RC.

I just installed Tomcat 5.5.0 on Windows XP Professional 
SP2. I have an 

existing application that worked under Tomcat 4.x. It consists of a 
servlet in a jar file located here:

\tomcat\common\lib\myservlet.jar
That jar contains a servlet mapped to, for example:
<servlet-mapping>
 <servlet-name>myservlet</servlet-name>
 <url-pattern>/myservlet/test</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
I have a resource bundle installed here:
...mywebapp\WEB-INF\classes\myresourcebundle.properties
My JSP files do the following with no problem:
ResourceBundle.getBundle("myresourcebundle");
However, when my servlet in my jar tries to execute the 
exact same code, 

I get:
java.util.MissingResourceException: Can't find bundle for base name 
myresourcebundle, locale en_US
   
java.util.ResourceBundle.throwMissingResourceException(Resourc
eBundle.java:837) 

   java.util.ResourceBundle.getBundleImpl(ResourceBundle.java:727)
   java.util.ResourceBundle.getBundle(ResourceBundle.java:577)
[etc.]
* I've tried taking my servlet out of a jar and putting it in 
...mywebapp\WEB-INF\classes\

* I've tried copying my resource bundles to 
...mywebapp\WEB-INF\classes\ 

to the same subdirectory as the actual classfiles (even 
though I'm using 

a non-hierarchical resource bundle name: "myresourcebundle")
* I've tried creating an explicit myresourcebundle_en_US.properties
The only thing that works is to comment out the 
ResourceBundle.getBundle(); line from my servlet.

I've looked at the generated JSP source code from Tomcat, 
and they have 

the same ResourceBundle.getBundle(); as does my servlet.
Why can my JSP files find my resource bundle, yet my servlet can't?

P.S. I'm sure that this worked under Tomcat 4.x. Then 
again, Tomcat 4.x 

didn't issue an error when my JSP files imported a class 
but didn't use 

it, either.
